CURRENT MISSION

"Taking wrong turns, talking to strangers, opening unmarked doors."

ABOUT ME

Born in Wisconsin, moved to Las Vegas at 16. Studied abroad in Den Haag, Holland and Madrid, Spain for a year each. Along with traveling I decided to study International Business and International Affairs, but have somehow ended up teaching English at an elementary school here in Madrid!
I have a bone deep desire to see the world, and explore every country, city, town, and moment for what it has to offer me. I love to explore new places, and even more meet new people and explore with them. I love great food and great friends. There is nothing better than enjoying a night out with friends.
I think traveling is a growing and learning process and I love it and I am so ready to be out their exploring this great wide world of ours!

PHILOSOPHY

Be married to your roots, but still be free.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a new member of couchsurfing I am ready to get out there and meet some new people! I am not currently in a position where I can host anyone, but hopefully soon I will be! I am looking forward to seeing what couchsurfing can offer me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While I was living in Las Vegas I was able to meet some amazing people through a friend who was connected to couchsurfing and she was the one who originally got me into the idea of couchsurfing. Through her I saw that people can really connect and have AMAZINGly happy experiences through couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book? - Marina Tsvetaeva
Reading is a passion of mine, and I read from all genres and its hard for me to pick a favorite, but I recently read "The Forever War" which is INCREDIBLE!
For music Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs,Phoenix, and Mumford and Sons, round out the top...but I listen to everything.
